What it supports

Section titled “What it supports”
ProtocolNotes
I3CSupernova only. The Pulsar has no I3C.
I2CThrough the mikroBUS socket or the QWIIC connectors
SPIA DIP switch assigns the INT and CS pins, so several SPI devices can be used
UARTThrough the mikroBUS socket

GPIO pins are available as needed.

What is on the board

Section titled “What is on the board”
  • A standard mikroBUS socket, with all 18 pins broken out to headers.
  • QWIIC connectors that carry the I2C or I3C bus.
  • A 2x15 IDC connector that links the board to the adapter’s Multifunction Port.
  • A DIP switch for the INT and CS pin assignment.

Up to 4 boards can be daisy-chained with the included cables.

In the box

Section titled “In the box”
  • mikroBUS Adapter Board
  • 20 mm ribbon cable for daisy-chaining
  • QWIIC-to-QWIIC cable for I2C and I3C connections

The Supernova and the Pulsar each include the 30-conductor ribbon cable for the 2x15 IDC connection.

Connect it

Section titled “Connect it”
  1. Connect the adapter’s Multifunction Port to the board’s 2x15 IDC connector with the ribbon cable from the adapter’s box.
  2. Fit the Click board in the mikroBUS socket.
  3. For an I2C or I3C Click board use the QWIIC connector instead.
  4. Set the target voltage the Click board needs: Target Voltage (VTARG) for the Supernova, Target Voltage (VTARG) for the Pulsar.
